NBA Mock Draft 2023: The complete first round
By Reid Hanson
More NBA Mock Draft fun…
George, 6-foot-4, 205 pounds is a strong guard who set the school record for the most 20 point games in a season. He’s a good shooter who plays with a high degree of confidence. He can be an impact offensive player in the NBA.
At 6-foot6, 213 pounds, he’s not the average PG. The ability to play both guard spots, Hood-Schifino is a scorer and facilitator. He’s long and able to handle different match-ups and competitive, playing with intensity.
Gregory Jackson, 6-foot-9, 210 pounds, is a player with high potential that just needs some development to be more efficient. He’s long and able to create on his own. There’s a lot to like if a team is willing to deal with a couple early growing pains.
Nick Smith, 6-foot-5, 185 pounds, was a highly touted recruit coming out. Coming off an injury he still scored over 18 points per game, and enters the NBA as one of the most naturally talented and athletic prospects in his class.
Howard, 6-foot-8, 215 pounds, is the son of former NBA star, Juwan Howard. He’s a strong scorer and a good outside shooter so at the very least he’s a good 3-and-D player entering the NBA.
Rupert, 6-foot-7, 192 pounds, enters the draft by way of New Zealand. The French born player is undeveloped offensively but he has a ridiculous length and strong defense earning him minutes early in his pro career.
Sidy, 6-foot-7, 220 pounds is hot name rising up the charts. He’s a scorer with a strong overall game. Could surprise people at the next level.
Kris Murphey, 6-foot-8, 220 pounds is a tough Iowa player who can score, rebound and defend. His twin, Keegan, has already broken though and Kris appears to be following a similar trajectory behind him. Strong floor and ceiling.
Miller, 6-foot-11, 221 pounds, is a former star player from the Ignite. He’s a strong rebounder and scorer and shows a love for the little parts of the game, projecting him nicely at the next level.
